... visualisation or how to make people relate to facts and statistics. Not any facts and statistics, but those highlighting habbits and behaviours that are harmful to themselves (mostly) or to others.
A friend was recently at a "compulsory seminar" shall we say about road safety after he was caught speeding, in order to avoid having some points taken of his driving license. They must have scared him quite effectively since he seems to be a changed man now when it comes to road safety...
How does that relate to visualisation? Simple. In order to get the point across they used a number of videos depicting simulations of distance covered after breaking vs. vehicle speed. Suffice to say that the realtion is geometric, you could be F1 race driver but you still can't beat physics.
In closing just to demonstrate the effectiveness of visualisation watch the video below - especially if you are smoker (I am not a smoker and hell this video shocked me for the effects of passive smoking...)

Fight Club...
..was not to be talked about (see first rule of fightclub) but definately a wicked and kind of 'standing on its own' movie. Can it be topped and if so by whon and how? Well a good start is Choke based on another book from Chuck Palahniuk who authored fight club in the first place.

Trend and hype or innate curiocity?
I am referring to the plethora of books out there, starting from the girl with a single track mind, moving on to the callgirl, and proceeding to the girl in high heels.
More and more books of this type are to be found on the top shelves of bookstores.People read one, two what next? It is unlikely there will be anything new. However we are all excited and intrigued to find out what happens behind the scenes at these industries and professions.
It used to be the babylon series:
Probably the ones outstanding are life in the city and confessions of a pornstar (after all jenna has now retired).
